About me

As a psychologist I work with individuals to help them feel heard, understood and supported in their mental health journey. I believe that every individual has the capacity for growth, healing and resilience when provided with the right support. My approach is collaborative and tailored to every client's needs and goals in order to navigate life's challenges, build emotional well-being and develop practical tools to create a meaningful and lasting change.

How i work in therapy

My practice emphasizes collaboration, empathy, cultural sensitivity, and creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences and work towards meaningful change. My work draws from evidence-based approaches such as:

  • CBTto identify and change unhelpful though patterns
  • DBTto build skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance
  • SFTto focus on strengths, resources and practical solutions
  • Gestalt therapyto process unresolved emotions and experiences
  • Mindfulness-based approachesto build present-moment awareness and emotional well-being

Sessions are collaborative, supportive and tailored to your individual needs, creating space for greater self-understanding, resilience and meaningful, lasting change.

What clients say about me

Helping me make better choices for myself

It is my first time taking therapy. Daffnie is very professional and has a good balance of approaching my problems with listening ears, self realisations and ofc homework to do which really helps me get and choose better for myself! Highly recommend her : )

I felt heard, supported and safe

Just wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude towards the consultations provided by my therapist Daffnie. She has helped me with coping mechanisms and understanding of the situation around me to face them head on. I do wish to continue with her going forward as well, given the comfort and safe space she provided for me
